Trivia:

The painting that hangs over the fireplace in the Little family's New York City apartment is "Sleeping Lady with Black Vase," an avant-garde work by Hungarian painter Robert Bereny that was thought to be lost since 1928. It was bought by a set-designer as a prop for $500 at an antique shop in Pasadena, Calif. Its significance was made public when Gergely Barki, a researcher at the Hungarian National Gallery in Budapest, discovered it while watching the film with his daughter on Christmas in 2009.See more »

Goofs:

Factual errors: No front load washing machine would fill in the manner depicted. First, the water level would never be as high as it is shown, especially with such a small load. The washer would be partially full. Second, the water spigot would not be in the rear of the machine, let alone mounted on the drum. It would be either above the door or in the area around the drum, but not mounted on it. Third, once started, the machine would most likely tumble while filling, or at least do some tumbling before "deciding" on a load size (and thus, "deciding" on how much to fill, how much time it will take, etc.). This machine appears to behave more like a top loader, in that it fills completely and then washes.See more »

Monty, the Mouth:You know, I'm not picky as long as it ain't meat loaf. That stuff gives me gas, something awful. Snowbell:I'm sorry, it's meat loaf. Monty, the Mouth:Oh well, beggars can't be choosers. Load me up and light a match! Snowbell:[Monty tries to go into the kitchen, but Snowbell tries stopping him, so he won't see Stuart and possibly humiliate him] No, Monty. Stop. You don't wonna do that. Monty, the Mouth:Why? I eat from garbage cans, drink from public toilets. Like a little gas is gonna bother me. [he walks through the cat door to the kitchen] Snowbell:No, wait. Don't!See more »

Wow, there are lots of name actors are either in front of the camera or
being used as voices in this unique animated-real life film. They use
real people and animals (except for fake mouths when the animals
"talk") and an animated mouse (Stuart, voiced by animation favorite
Michael J. Fox.) who looks incredibly life-like.

The colors in this movie are terrific, especially with the house that
the Little family lives in. The story has some clever stuff in it but
it strictly played for laughs and reactions since credibility is about
zero in many parts of this story. However, it's supposed to be
outrageous. I don't think Geena Davis has ever played a nicer role than
this. It was good to see. The husband was just as nice, played affably
by Hugh Laurie.

The jokes are good for the kids and adults. I know a couple of parents
who liked this movie even better than their kids, so don't believe it
when someone writes that this is a film strictly for kids. That is not
so. I did object to some profanity in here at the end, which seemed so
out of place, but it's hard to expect Hollywood to get everything
right.
